Erin's Sons: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic Canada to 1863. Volume IV - Paperback

by Terrence M. Punch (Author)

Citing an additional 7,000 Irish-born residents of Atlantic Canada, Volume IV of this series brings the coverage of this ground-breaking work forward to 1863, the mid-point of the American Civil War. By that year, Irish immigration into Atlantic Canada had diminished almost to a trickle, as ever bigger and faster steam ships allowed immigrants to set out for the more distant factory towns of New England and various points in the American West.
